I’m running Ubuntu 16.04 x86_64 with nvidia driver version 384.111 from nvidia-384, and a GTX 1060. I just installed cuda-9.1 from the cuda repo(.deb installation).According to the installation guide,for verifying cuda installation,deviceQuery results in “CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version” error.
Results of some commands:
$ lspci -v | grep -i nvidia

$~/NVIDIA_CUDA-9.1_Samples/bin/x86_64/linux/release$ ./deviceQuery
./deviceQuery Starting…
CUDA Device Query (Runtime API) version (CUDART static linking)
cudaGetDeviceCount returned 35
→ CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version
Result = FAIL
Earlier, I followed the installation guide for cuda-9.1 religiously but then , I got stuck in a login loop something similar to [ubuntu] ubuntu 16.04 stuck on login loop and Ubuntu 16 Stuck in Login Loop after Installing Nvidia 364 Drivers - Ask Ubuntu . I followed the steps and removed cuda and nvidia drivers;reached a stable state using Nouveau display driver.
I tried installing cuda again and I saw that it was using driver-version 387.26. I manually switched to driver-version 384.11 and rebooted,guessing that the driver was the problem earlier.Now, I can see that my display driver is working fine but cuda is not(deviceQuery is failing).
I am sure that I am following the installation guide correctly.
